Hi Matt.
I asked a very similar question about two months ago. My question referred to asvn which is a script provided by subversion to keep permissions on files kept in the svn repository. I found it lacking in information in using it properly to maintain file permissions and especially with symbolic links in the /etc directory. I also found a perl script that is similar to asvn called ssvn, but the developer is not actively devloping said perl script any longer. I basically quit upon the idea of using subversion with /etc on my servers due to the lack of file system permission integration with svn. You might want to try using svk. You can also find my discussion about using asvn with /etc that Ryan Schmidt so helpfully assisted me with. He recommended in the end that I try using fsvs, but again I found it is still in development and not thoroughly documented, and it coud pan out like the meta-data patch which is no longer being developed. That might have been the best
